The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great Financial Associations recently established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera ion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, race them beyond the reach of individual contractors un less supported by joint-stock enterprise. This Jompany has, therefore, been formed fer the purks, - Pose of undertaking the execu tion of great public works, and arrangements have been entered into with well known contractors, by w hi c h contracts to the amou nt of £11,000,000 sterlin g will be t urn ed over to the Company . Among other contracts hande d over to the Company is that for the construction of the European Central Railway, W hich has been secured on favourable terms, and will be commenced forthwith. The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work on terms highly advantageous to th e Company, he retaining ft large interest in the Company by receiving pay the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great com- Mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to !nsure their completion. This Company , combining the in nuence of a large s ubscribed capital, ext ensive financial co °Perations at home and abroad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence on the part of govern ments, public bodi es, and the great financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms.

SECRETARY (PRO TEM Arthur Dovo", Esq. The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending* the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co. , of HulL The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed b y any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of li 3o fe e . The The present iron hip-building, power of the estab is equal to the construction of 20,00 J tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard,, and which Messrs. Samuelso n and Company i ave secu, so as to extend the work s to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, as well as for all kinds of railway an d engineering works. In addition to the engineer in g works, foundry, and ship building yards, there is a patent slip for repairingtheb ships of the largest class. This is a hi g hl y profitable part oi nese. The demand for the use of this patent slip been such that it has never been une m p lo y ed since Messrs. Shasamuel s;,n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build. hog labour is lower at Hull than in athey nof eat the iron shipict - b u ilding ports of the kingdom; it is in gr iron of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into Freights are the works a nd connect them with all p arts of England. v ery moderate from Hull , and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general engineering work amount to above £300,C00, all at very rem ' nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that after ma taking large allowances -3 0 per cent. off the cap abilis the tom s , the trade will, with the judicious mangement and emplyment of the capital, ret urn a dividend of 20 pe t cent. and upwards to the shareholders, amountfe works continue to be fully employed, a much larger Tha teems of urchase are highly' advantageous ;the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are totez. taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by, Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, inoluding the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for a te n f th e ye ree years'ar's pur chase of the net pio fits, but on an avera working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in fu L Should a less number of shares be al otted than is app liedfor, for, the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. lication for Shares may be Pros p e ctuses and Forms of App obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Comp qiy, the 21, Threa d nee dle -street, and SO, Lombard-street, and ot Brokers and Solicitors.

The annual celebration of the athletic sports by the Gentlemen Cadets of the Royal Military Aca demy took place . yesterday at Woolwich. The weather was most agreeable, and the grounds were filled with a numerous assemblage of visitors, ad mitted by printed tickets only. The sports com menced at 11 a.m., with the game of throwing the cricket-ball, the best throw over a distance of 921 yards, having been made by Mr. Faushawe. This was succeeded by a flat race, in which there were 26 competitors. The race was cleverly won by Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Crookenden coming in second. At half-past 11 Mr. Crookenden again came forward, together with Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Moore, for the third game, namely, standing high jump over a raised bar 4ft. 2in. high. It was won by Mr. Med hurst. A running high jump followed next, over a bar sft. 2in. high, which was admirably executed by Mr. Dyce. A hurde race was next performed over a distance of 130 yards and a flight of 12 hur dles. During this race, in which there were 21 competitors, Prince Arthur, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, entered the grounds from Greenwich Park, and took his place on the Grand Stand. He was joined by Major-Gen. Sandham, the Lieut.- Governor; Major-Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, com mending the garrison, and Staff, and other officers and their families. This was a most interesting race. Mr. Briscoe came in a good first, and was followed by Mr. Awdry, second, and Mr. Medhurst third. A fencing match next took place, and was gained by Mr. Pulford. The seventh game consisted of throwing a half-hundred weight, which was won by Mr. Crookenden, whose final throw was 18ft 6in. At a quarter past 1 a flat race commenced with 27 candidates. The race was well contested. The dis tance was 440 yards, which was accomplished in 69 seconds, Mr Briscoe coming in first, Mr. Pulford second, and Mr. Dodsworth third. The next per formance was leaping with the pole. The best leap was made by Mr. Beaver over a bar 9ft. 3in. high. Then followed a most fatiguing race, one mile in length, 32 starting in the contest and continuing it with great spirit until within a few yards of the goal, when the m,jority gave in. The race termi nated by Mr. Buckle coming in slightly in advance, Mr. Blacksley second, and Mr. Curling third ; time, 4m. 55sec. After a single-stick match, which was won by Mr. Medhurst, a steeplechase commenced over 600 yards, gained by Mr. Medhurst, Mr. Buckle second, and Mr. Awdry third; time- lm. 67sec. Putting the shot over a distance of 28 feet 2 inches was won by Mr. Awdry. Running wide jump by Mr. Crookenden, 18 feet 8 inches. A :lin ing flat race was next entered by 36 runners, over a distance of 880 yards, which was done in 2 min. 17 sec. Mr. Pullord and Mr. Buckle making a dead heat, and Mr. Dodsworth a good third. A most amusing hopping race next came on, and was won by Mr. Crookenden. Afterwards there was a hurdle race over 440 yards and 20 flights of hurdles. This occupied only 1 min. 12 sec.—Mr, Awdry first, Mr. Briscoe second, and Mr. Buckle third. The consolation race commenced at 5 o'clock over a piece of ground representing a rugged country, inter spersed with furze banks, and brooks five or six feet deep. Some eight or ten cadets started for this race, which caused considerable merriment, as they plunged boldly, with one exception, into the first brook. The race then lay with Mr. Tisdall alone, who cleared the brooks and came in the winner. The final, or 20th, game consisted of a strangers' race of 200 yards over 15 hurdles, open to all comers, and terminated shortly before 6, when the prizes were awarded by Mrs. General Sandham, wife of the Governor, in the following order :—To Mr. Fanshawe an elegant dressing-ease ; to Mr. Briscoe three prizes—a silver cup, a ring, dressing•case, and opera glass ; Mr. Crookenden an opera glass, a pin, a silver cup, a crop and spurs, and a desk ; Mr. Awdry a locket, hunting-flask, a whip, and silver cup; Mr: Dyce a set of studs, &c. ; Mr. Medhurst a dressing•case, a fishing-rod, and silver cup; Mr. Pulford, foils, &0., a ring, and cup ; Mr. Dods worth, a ridingwhip ; Mr. Beaver, a silver cup; Mr. Buckle, a revolver, crop and spurs, a ring, a powder-flask and shot pouch ; Mr. Black, a rifle ; Mr. Clarke, a pipe ; Mr. Smythe, a pin ; Mr. Tisdall, a cup ; Mr. Gower, a racket bat ; Mr. Briscoe, the winner of most marks, a clock by the Lieutenant- Governor ; and to Mr. Crookenden, the winner of the greatest number of prizes, an opera glass, pre sented by Prince Arthur. The French papers notice a project put forth by M. Alexandre Lays, for the construction of a maritime canal on Spanish soil which is to supersede the Straits of Gibraltar, and to render " illusory the possession of the fortified rock bearing that name." The capital required is, it seems, about four millions sterling. The plans of M. Lays have, it is stated, been carefully examined by compe tent persons, and the only thing now required is to find some one willing to advance the money for carrying them out. The dividend expected on the capital invested is not mentioned. Nothing can be more delightful than the weather at Paris. The thermometer yesterday afternoon at three marked 23 Centigrade (73 2.sths Fahrenheit). THE UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—Yesterday, this new company opened their offices in Edinburgh and Leith, so that " shilling telegrams" may now be despatched from Edinburgh to London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and all the leading towns to which this company has opened commu. nications.

This company is established for the purpose of acquiring the business and connections of ex sting provincial Bank ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Sroek pri Iciple. Treaties are now pending for tbe purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose, full powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the Articles of Assoiation. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London; but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con nections of ex , sting banks, i is intended to open branches in roincial cities and towns where, owing to the increase of p wea v lth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation of twa of the largest private banks in London with joint-stock establishments, tot towing o her combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint stock association in banking business. If the system of banking carried on by public companies is admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri vat establishments aregenerally large and wealty, it an note be a matter of doubt g that the principle is still more ap • plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of trade in the country genera ly has crea ed a demand for fur ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro polis that the requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Shares of the three Banks in London constituted for simiiar olject s are now quoted as follows, viz.: — Paid. Present Prices. The National Provincial ........ £l2 .. £44 The London and County .... 20 . • 65 The Provincial Bank cf Ireland.. 25 .• 93 In further illustration of the profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur ing the past three years, it will be found on Inspection of the official list that, out of that number, the shares of all but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up capital. Prospectuses and formsrary of application for shares may be Obtained at the Tem Office ot the Company, or of the Brokers or Sol citor s. The Articles of Association may be seen at the Office of the Solicitors. FORK OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Directors of the Provincial Banking Corporation (Limited).

The quiet of an off day was rather agreeable after the excitement and bustle of the Two Thousand. One walked about the Heath without the fear of being charged by the very irregular cavalry of the day before, and could enjoy the sport unmolested by a crowd. King of the Vale, who has grown into a very fine-look ing horse, brought Baron Rothschild's colours to the front after a very easy fashion. Tho " blue and yellow"has had a turn of fortune's favour lately. In the £5O Handicap Atlas, against whom they laid 10 to 1, finished a good race with another outsider, Disappoint ment, the favourite, Weatherglass, leing defeated some yards from home. The Two-yr-old Plate brought together a good looking lot of young horses, the most noticeable of whom was:Rad cliffe, La Mechante, Silverlocks, and his Royal Highness, who, however, with the exception of Mr Saville's filly, did not perform as their good looks led one to expect. La Mechante won with comparative ease. Caroline, the Irish crack, in greatly improved form from her last appearanoe at Epsom, ran away from Algarsife, and won in a canter, her owner, Mr Longfield, doing ditto with Blarney in the 60 Sovereign Sweepstakes, where he defeated Argonaut by a neck.

The members ranged about the round table in the order in wl;krtL 11 4 1V..4, 14 respective countries will go to war iremediateqs-on a the termination of the Conference. Earl Russell opened the proceedings by calling attontion to the fact that they were thirteen ; be there fore begged to introduce the Hon. William Stuart into a round hole prepared for him in the centre of the table. His lordship added that the ostensible functions of Mr. Stuart were those of prctoculist, but that he was really put there for luck. Lord Clarendon made the somewhat feeble obser vation that he was a round man in around hole. • :- The French Ambassador took exception to this statement, maintaining that he (Prince De la Tour d'Auvergne) was rounder, and his excellency was preparing to support this propcsition by Mr. Banting's pamphlet, when Lord Clarendon cour teously waived the point-, in accordance with his instructions under no circumstances to oppose any proposition emanating from the French Ambas sador. These preliminaries Imiog been arranged, the members of the Conference Exchanged full powers and other acts of c:vility, and Eerl Russell took advantage of their being thus engaged to vote himself unanimously into the chair. 1 ~;, After reproving the Hon. Williatn Stuart in an undertone for winking at this, the noble earl pro ceeded to state frankly that as they had met to secure the blessings of peace to the North of Europe, he would use the strongest and moat abusive lan guage against the first member of the Conference who should raise a difficulty or contradict him. His lordship went on, however, to explain that her Majesty's Government were prepared to concede everything to everybody, and that Lord Clarendon had been associated with him because be could speak French, was accustomed to deal with diplo matists, and was a man of the world. Lord Russell modestly concluded by remarking that he dB not believe anybody, except biamelf, thlyagt.,lliza l any way qualified for the position he then kill The Prince de la Tour d'Artvergne said that Lord 1' ,vkitgf•A Russell was fishing for a compliment, but instead f r of paying him one he would state at once what his instructions were. The proposition to which hia • Imperial master was determined to adhere was that the will of the population of the Duchies should' ha consulted, if not by plebiscitum, at all events by the votes of the Estates convoked ad hoc. Baron Brunnow begged to remark that in. the event of any such proposal being made he should at once leave the table. Count Apponyi said he had received instructions to act rather with Russia than with Prussia, but he did not know exactly what his instructions were, as Biegeleben had got them, and would not show them to him. Baron Biegeleben explained that he had drawn, them up himself, and insinuated that he had drawn up every Austrian State paper of any consequence since the Frankfort Conference. Baron De Beust said that the less he alluded to .he Frankfort Conference the better. At this moment the proceedings were interrupted by Lord Clarendon, who requested to be allowed to shake hands all round. The noble lord rose from his seat, and pressed the hand of each member to his heart. Mr. Stuart made a note of this affecting episode. Baron Da Beust resumed in a calmer tone, stating that he was prepared to support every proposition emanating from the French Ambassador, without even taking the trouble to listen to it. Count Bernstorff said that his instructions were to yield nothing, to object to everything, and to= • I propose the annexation of the Duchies to Germany, under conditions which should exclude the Angus.. tenburgß, maintain the integrity of Denmark, Jind, render the influence of Prussia paramount. .. • Privy Councillor &hal remarked that 3F. - Big mark was not the sort of man to stand any nonsense, . and that you never knew what he was up to. • Lord Russell requested Mr. Stuart to make note of that. „ Count Wachtmeister said that be was instructed to give the Danes openly his support, but that his secret instructions were quite different, Baron Da Nile asked. Aim to exhibit his' scorn instructions. In accordance with this request, they were handed Mr. Stuart, to be translated by that gentleman prom the original Swedish. Councillor Krieger remarked that he belonged to the Eider Dane party, and would bring forward a proposition for a United Scandinavia. Baron Do Bile announced his intention of cor. dially co-operating with his colleagues in achieving this solution, when he received a violent kick on the shins from 111. Quaade. At this moment Lord Clarendon again requested permission to shake hands all round. Lord Russell then proposed an armistice, which was agreed to by Baron De Bille and M. Que.ade, as between themselves, but dissented from, upon, general principles, by everybody else. Count Bernstorff complained that Lord Russell had taken the Conference by surprise. It was then arranged that the members should telegraph to their respective Governments for in. structions how to meet this unexpected proposal. The meeting then adjourned. How it was all Arranged, (From Fun.) [The Scene is a room in Downing-street. The Dramatis Personie are two in number; the one an aged man, over whose head many summers had passed,* yet still of jaunty steps; the other a younger man of astute mien and budget-calculating eye.

G--n.—Pooh I nonsense I what's the matter now ! p —s.—Well, Johnny says the British constitution is in danger, and won't admit of so much enthusiasm.: G---F.

I knookad the idea on the head at onoe. G--E (with relief) —I should think so. Johnny wants to go down to posterity as the (not always) polite letter writer of thn Victorian era, and signally fails in the attempt. But how about Garibaldi ? I suppose you're not afraid of the Tories getting up another Stansfeld-Mazzini row and kicking us out ? not exactly that.

G--B.—And the country won't like it if he goes: Utrunt hrum maris accipe, and the elections coming on. P—N—We are on the horns of a dilemma. Dear, dear I what's to be done ? G----E—Done ? Why I hum I ha I If you you really think his presence will hinder the Conference, it i i awkward. P—N (tvluedlingly)—Don't you think, Gladdy, a s a known friend of Italy, you could suggest to him on t h e quiet, as they say vulgarly— G —E.—Vcry vulgarly—but proceed. P—S.—That if he were to—that is to say, should it be possible—shorten his proposed sojourn in this country, it it would be as well. His health, you know, Can't stand all the excitement he is undergoing; and then consider hie wound. G —E.—Tell him to go, that's what you mean. Why don't you say so at once ? P--N.—Oh, no ; nothing of the sort. I should be the very last 'pon ray honour I should—wouldn't hear of it for a moment. But you see, Gladdy-- G—E. (with intense disgust)-oh, I see.
